Rehit Piyari Muj Ko, Sikh Piyara Nahi. It is a Rehitnama by Bhai Desa Singh ji. Here is an english translation i found on the net. "I love the Sikh Rehit; the Sikh himself is not my beloved. The one who lives the Sikh lifestyle is my Sikh; he is my master and I am his disciple. Without the Rehit no one can be a Sikh; without the Rehit one will face difficulties at all times. Without the Rehit he cannot be comfortable at all; that is why a Sikh should be committed to the Rehit."

interesting we had exactly the opposite thing happen when a guy from my village married a girl in canada only to leave her once he got there. He had a girlfriend who was already in Canada. Such a disgrace that people do not give 2 shits about the girl/guy who they are leaving.

Discover Channel did a show on the Gnostic Scrolls...i'll see if the size isn't too big, i'll upload it. This was brought up a while back by Hari. http://www.sikhawareness.com/sikhawareness...opic.php?t=6095

If its about as extreme as Osho gets in his words, then i think i'll be ok...regardless don't worry, i won't blame you for screwing up my mind.. what does the book have in it that warrents such caution?

what book 'heaven in mekhane' ji? care to share it with us lost souls .

dude you rock... i have a question, when was gold placed upon the darbar sahib. I don't think when the 5th Guru built it there was Gold placed upon it? Was it Raja Ranjit Singh?

blockages are in everyone, it is throught bhagti as you stated that these blockages are opened and our energy flows freely through the chakras. As for the headaches, i don't think they are a cause of concern given that you have a Master whom can give you proper guidence through such events.

wow..........................................................

Marrying out of race/religion/caste is not a Sin, rather a matter of convienience from both a Social and Religious standpoint.

im curious as to what language is the word Si from where it is translated to head or mind? is Si short for Sees Interesting interpetation though. As far as i am aware, the Simran is derived form the word Simurn which translates to 'remember'. However the word Simran has also been used synanomously to Jap.

Sometimes there would be a rush of noisy visitors and the Silence of the monastery would be shattered. This would upset the disciples; not the Master, who seemed just as content with the noise as with the Silence. To his protesting disciples he said one day, "Silence is not the absence of sound, but the absence of self." ~ Adyashanti

Neo do you have the video? if so why don't u just upload it to the khalis.net/SikhAwareness/ site. how big is it?

i might have to read that few times more to fully grasp it. thanks. So if it is true that I (awareness) surround the space around the body and also within it, then why is it that when i close my eyes i feel i am trapped within this body? Is this just conditioning or perhaps with deeper meditation you begin to break this 'feeling' of being only within.

so easy, yet it seems miles away... so i got a question for you bro,,.....where are you in the physical body? where is the floating awareness, the conciousness which is seperate from all that which rises and falls?

I don't have much to comment on you above thoughts...but i was simply pointing towards Observing the Mind...and no imo you do not become a Schizo because you are not dividing your mind by observing with one part and the other being the observer. You are stepping back from thought/mind altogether. As for this method being westernized, i do not believe that to be such. Please take a look at Vipassana. http://www.dhamma.org/vipassan.htm

You do not need to light your house on fire to keep warm...just a spark is necessary and a spark that is well under control. If you have such confidence in your mind that it will not get out of hand then there are no worries. If it is irrelivent to you if you have sex or not, then no worries, just be cautious that it does not become a necessity. But is such the condition of average joe? I think not. Give the mind an inch, it'll take a mile. There was a small story of Raja Janak who was engaged in kaam while a Saint came by to request his presence..im not too sure of the entire story...perhaps Neo can post it, last i remember it was he who posted it. I take it you never experienced your feelings without being attached to them. Perhaps you should and then conclude if it makes you a schizo or not. I certainly feel fine and as do many other who i've talked to. You are not emotions that rise and fall. To be in constant awareness of yourself and of the mind as not you is not a illness rather it is something worth experiencing and perhaps even essential in growing spritually detached from the mind. You are playing with fire here. Although your intentions are good to percieve the Godliness in every act, but caution must be used. Even the art of Tantra envokes 'controlled' methods. you must be carefull when you relax the leash of the mind...it has far more experience in deception than we think. Without a proper guide such word could cause more harm than good.

There are many methods that help you control (not surpress) and transform our lustful energy and desires. Knowledge is power, know what Sex is, Know what Sexuality is, Know what Lust is. Know where they arise from, what triggers them, disect your thoughts, your feelings, observe them with a keen eye and if you observe them correctly as HeyDudesWassup said you will obliterate the thought-tide of your lustfulness. If it arises again and most likely it will, do not lose your patience. Do not fear it because it is nothing but our own creation. Do not blame others for, not the females you see walking, not anyone. No one is to blame for our thoughts but our ownsleves. That does not mean feel guilty about it. It means do not place the responsibilty of your mind upon others that it is 'their' fault and your are powerless about it. Women are God's creatoin as are you, as is their beauty, their figure...learn to tranform you sight with such thoughts...do not look to posses them, instead appreciate them for their beauty and more so appreciate the one who created them. Redefine your thoughts. Do you appreciate the beauty of a flower only after you plucked it from its branch? Know that once you pluck the flower from its branch, soon it will die. Similar is our lust, the desire to posses the others body, to use it for our own satisfaction...soon the infatuation of physical attraction will fade and you will find yourself looking for another women to satisfy yourself. It is a cycle that will not stop, unless you learn to redirect your mind and thoughts. Our plucking of the flower is similar to wanting to posses them physically. See them for their beauty and appreaciate the creator for such beauty. Let every beauty remind your of his work. It is up to you how you interpret what you see. Aside fomr what HeyDude suggest, also Learn to observe your breathing, know that it is thought that arises first then that thought brings upon a change in our breathing and the breathing in turn creates a reaction in our body. The breathing is but a bridge between thoughts and our physical body. Observe your breathing and you will find that thoughts without the aid of breathing can not go far and soon it will fade away. You can also do Japa in your breathing that will help better concetrate your mind on your breathing. Also As you walk keep your sight downwards as you continue you Simran. Not so much taht you can't see what is in front of you, but inorder for you to redirect your mind, you must physically restrain your sight from wandering around. Keep fast to your Simran and the thought will fade....remember do not think that you have no one to assist you. If you are Honest in your desire to control you lustful thoughts, then the Guru is there to guide you always. Be aware of when the mind suggest into lust, you will have a choice. Do not create hatred or animosity against your mind...instead learn to be patient and compassioante towards it. It is like your secretary, if you do not wish to speak to it then pay no attention to it, instead smile at the mind and be loving towards it knowing you know what must be done to acheive your task. sorry i didn't realize how long this thing got.

Few other options. If you are listening to Kirtan, then become your ears, let the sound of kirtan flow within you without filter. Relax (not so much that you slouch or become sleepy, relax the body, so the muscles are not tightened) and Feel the emotion within the sound. If you are singing along, then listen to 'your' voice when you sing along. Also understand that Thought by itself is nothing but a wave that rises and falls, it is YOU that gives fuel to the thought that it becomes a Tsunami. Seperate yourself from the thought and simply observe it without interference regardless of what the content of the thought is. If it arises then let it arise, but stay alert as not to influence it in any way. Observe it, once the thought fades away, return to your Jap/Kirtan etc. Also a small prayer asking for help from your Guru before sitting down to do Jap/Kirtan always helps.
